Research Groups

Applied Math Lab
The AML is an experimental laboratory sitting on the ground floor of
Warren Weaver Hall. Its main focus is on the interactions of moving
bodies or flexible structures with fluid flows as arises commonly in
biology, geophysics, and many other areas. Many of its experimental
projects are tied to mathematical modeling and simulation studies.

NYU Bioinformatics
Lab
Bud Mishra and colleagues, working with collaborators at the NYU
and
Mount Sinai Schools of Medicine, the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and
the Institute for Advanced Study, have been developing algorithms for
better "base-calling," collecting databases of accurate sequence reads
from an individual, and aligning and assembling the reads into
haplotypic genome sequences. They also develop algorithms for
genome-wide association studies, which relate genotype and phenotype
frequencies in a population, and for identifying causal relationships
between genomic variants and phenotypes using electronic health
records. The group also develops models of cancer, in which genomic
aberrations play an important role. These cancer models are then
analyzed and manipulated using computer-science tools from model
checking and supervisory control.

Center for
Atmosphere Ocean Science
This Center aims to use applied mathematical methods to develop an
understanding of complex and poorly understood phenomena in the climate
system. Methods include multi-scale methods; stochastic modeling;
numerical turbulence modeling and information theory.

Center for Data Science
The Center for Data Science is a focal point for New York University's
university-wide initiative in data science and statistics. The Center was
established to help advance NYU's goal of creating the country's leading
data science training and research facilities, and arming researchers and
professionals with tools to harness the power of big data.

Courant
Mathematics and
Computing Laboratory
Our program is
devoted to the formulation, analysis and numerical resolution of a
broad
class of scientific problems, drawn from aerodynamics, multi-phase
flow,
combustion, electromagnetics, optics and materials science.

Environmental
Fluid Dynamics Laboratory
This laboratory supports research and educational activities in
environmental science. Emerging software and hardware capabilities in
information technology are being developed and applied so as to
integrate physical laboratory experiments, numerical models, and
real-world observational data. The ultimate objective of such an
integration is to create a deeper understanding of important phenomenon
in the natural environment. Current topics of interest tend to focus on
the polar regions and, in particular, on ice-ocean interaction and
ocean downslope mixing.

The Games for Learning
Institute
The NYU Games for Learning Institute (G4LI), a collaboration between
seven partner universities with support from Microsoft Research, is
dedicated to advancing the design, use, and evaluation of computer
games in formal and informal educational settings. The Institute works
to provide fundamental scientific evidence of "what works" in games for
learning - what makes certain games compelling and playable, and what
design elements make games educationally effective. The results provide
critically important information to researchers, game developers, and
educators, and point the way to a new era of using games for
educational purposes.

Mathematics in Finance
Workshop and Conference Center
The mission of the Center is to provide the finance community with
continuous learning and networking opportunities, covering areas from
foundations in quantitative finance to the most innovative and latest
cutting-edge research.

NYU Movement Lab
The NYU movement group is a motion capture lab and research group
dedicated to the analysis and animation of all forms of human movement.
Many projects are at the boundary between computer science, dance,
performance art, animation, medical research, and other uses of motion
capture technology.

The Proteus Project
Our research is focused on the task of information extraction --
analyzing text, identifying particular types of names, relations, and
events reported in the text, and building data bases recording this
information.
